>> felony charge of battery on a sports official
“battery on a sports official”?
Well, I guess you can now tell how much you’re worth to society by the penalties that apply if a member of your group is “battered”.
I wonder what the penalty is for “battery on a software engineer”. Probably just a small fine, or a stern talking-to. :-)
I think sports officials get special attention from law enforcement for this very reason.
Unfortunately it’s not uncommon for a ref or umpire to get attacked.
But attacked by a 14 year police veteran is a bit unexpected.....this guy should be ashamed of himself and state so publicly.
